From Whangamomona Aotearoa-New Zealand: last call to Sunday 18 January workshop and constellation circle
We'll start with exploration of your given name, how you got it, the story behind it - ...Then there'll be time for 2-3 constellations working with issues arising in the exploration...Everyone present benefits from the process - no minute wasted, no one left out. We imagine that experiences that have affected us are unique to us, but they are universally resonant. Kick your year off with a relational refresher that lightens your life!

Ghosts haunt us. Ancestors walk beside us. Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama talk about their fathers. My jury service. And some tea from Maya Angelou
I needed to check in with something, someone(s) beyond my thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. As I sat in the jury box, I summoned the support of my ancestors through Dad and Lola and Maraea and way, way beyond. That was a moment. And there have been many more since...And that’s it, isn’t it. You are not alone. You are never alone. Your ancestors who dreamed of you are all around. Always.

Let's give a glittering new dress to the Cinderella of health care
Let’s talk about it, normalise it, de-mystify it, try to understand it, accept its pervasiveness, develop compassion toward our friends, family members and acquaintances who encounter it. Lets recognise it as a systemic issue and not an individual issue. Let’s fully accept that ‘mental illness’ is as blameless as cancer or a broken arm, or toothache. Let’s work towards breaking down the often astounding difficulties involved in getting help within the health and welfare syste

Later the same day...online Constellation 8-11pm New Zealand Time
We are all in need of some deep connection to ourselves and others in this awful time in the world in which our small personal issues are submerged by the accumulation of grief we are in. We cannot fix the world, but we can work with the personal.Are you
choosing the same partner?
in messy relationship(s) with parent, child or sibling?
struggling with the effects of abuse?Constellations works with these issues. ..and many more.

In Person Constellation: same day, new time Sunday 14 September 1-5pm
These are pieces of information about unfinished business that I need to work with to fully release subtle trauma my body is still holding onto decades later. I know, without the slightest doubt that going into constellation with another facilitator will enable that to happen. Either something works or it doesn't. My experience is that constellations work, every time. The field does not lie, ever.

How you are at home is how you are at work
Managers are often not naturally imbued with skills and attributes required for working well and effectively with people they are charged with managing. It becomes an awkward hit and miss affair punctuated by dodgems, deceit, delusions, and ending with anxiety and stress.

Nobody Said It Was Easy. Nobody Said It Would Be So Hard.
How can we better know our parents, their parents and grandparents, and by extrapolation the ones who came before them? Who were they, the dearly loved elders?

Karma Is Not A Spiritual Commodity
Intergenerational stress or trauma or joy or what we create by our own actions, or take on by interest or proximity has an effect. Karma.
